The N. E. church is being repaired and
repainted, and when finished will present q
better appearance.
Perhaps the interval without service OF
any kind in the church will be sufficient
time for the belligerent parties, who have
been carrying on petty strife for some
time in the s. s., to deliberate and finally
see that such want of harmony in a 8. s.

East Benton.

Ira Kline, son of Joseph Kline, near
Jonestown, aged about 22 years, CON-
mitted suicide by shooting himself last
Friday evening. He had seasons of
dementia and it is supposed that this
sad act was the result of one of these.
1t is said he informed some of his fell
low associates on the previous Sabbath
that that was the "last Sunday he
would be with them,' and "would be
dead next Sunday" We could not
vouch for the saying. The whole
community deeply sympathi re with
the unfortunate family. Whether he
had this deed in contemplation is only
matter of conjecture. Not return
ing, late in the evening, search was in
stituted and the locality where several
reports of gun had been heard in
stinctively led the searchers to the spot,
where, to their horror, his lifeless body
was found. He was not a married
man.
The Benton Fair was success and
the exhibits grand. A new feature,
eliciting much interest and attracting
great deal of attention, was the b.
cycle races. Little curly. headed Cad.
man is master of the bicycling art,
and IN his artful flight can perform
any desirable feat. We bespeak for
him the championship of this world.
But the all absorbing feature, marking
a new epoch, and inspiring everybody,
was the running trains by the Fair
grounds, pushing Benton a hundred
years in advance of what it was a year
ago.
Jacob s. Beishline, near Cambria, is

The announcement that Dom Pc

eating the throne Of Brazil will not
create much surprise, as it has been ru-

ferable that he should resign the reigns
of the government to other hands.
His name will figure brightly in Bra

Of great erudition, many will be tempted
to quote the words addressed by the

prohibited by law. II seems, accord.
ing 10 Chinese history, that many
large and heavy pressure gas wells
were struck and in some districts wells
were sunk quito near TO each other.
Gas was lighted as soon as struck, as
is done in this country. 1t is said that
one well, with its unusual pressure, by
induction or hack draaght, pulled
down into the earth the burning gas
of a smaller well, resulting in dread
full explosion of large district, de-
stroying the inhabitants thereof.
Lake Foo Chang rests on this district.
The same catastrophe is imminent In
this country unless the law restricts
further developments in boring so many
wells. Should similar explosion occur
there will be such an upheaval as will
dwarf the most terrible earthquakes
ever known. The country along the
gas belt, from Toledo, through Ohio
Indiana and Kentucky, will be ripped
up to the depth of 1900 TO 1900 feet
and Topped over like pancake, leav-

A Narrow Escape.
scHUyLKILL coUNTY's JUDGES HAVE
NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.

MiNERsvILLE, October lot has
just leaked out that on Friday night
three Law Judges of this county and
Thomas f. Kerns, the wealthy rail
road contractor, while approaching thi.
borough had narrow escape from in.
stant death. Their Honors had been
the guests of Mr.. Kerns and rode be-
hind his spanking bays to the fair al
Levelle, near Ashland. 1t was night
when they started for home. Near
Heckscherville the road for some dis.
tance lies along the foot of an immense
embankment, at the southern end Of
which is big cave-in. They were
coming at lively gait, when suddenly
they heard boys up on the bank shout
ing; "Turn to the right, quick, quick
jump"
Judge Green, waiting for no second
warning, TUNED back handspring out
of the surrey, and President Juigy
Pershing leaped nimbly out on one
side. Judge Beoktel stuck with Mr.
Kerns 20 the wagon. As the horsel
came to a sudden halt, their from,
hoots slipped on the crumbling edge o.
the cave in and sent the loose stoneI
rumbling down the rocky sides of th,
pit to the bottom, fifty feet below. In
slinctively the horses backed away
from the dangerous spot and in few
moments Mr.. Kerns had gathered up
his judicial load once more.

A Corporation Judge.
JUDGE WILLIAMS A SERVANT OF THE COAL
COMPANIES.

The Advertiser, an independent
journal published at Blossburg, Tioga
county, (the county in which Judge
Williams resides,) expresses its opinion
of that candidate for the highest judicial
office in the state as follows
"We shall charge and show that in
this county he has been the chief in
strument in the hands of the unscrupu-
lous and lawless mining companies in
enforcing the infamous ten day land
lord and tenant act, by which the mi
ners and other employees of the compan-
les have been evicted and thrown into
the streets, with their wives and little
ones, to contend with all the blasts
and storms of winter and we shall
further show that he has been the in
strument by which the superlntendents
OF the mining companies have under
the ten day act, made vacant any
township Office they desired by dis.
charging the officer, elected by the
people, a power not dreamed of by
himself, who conceived the act of 1865.
We shall show that companies who
wished to get rid of a justice of the
peace, assessor, constable or supervisor
they could do 80 with the assistance of
Judge Williams. That for instance,
an assessor, who wished to place a
proper valuation of the lands and prop
erty of the company, could under the
ten day act be ordered out of the COM
pany's house, and there being no other
dwelling in the township, not owned
by the company, the Office was declar-
ed vacant and Judge Williams appoint
ed to fill the vacancy any man the
company desired-thus making COM
plete force of the right of the people
to elect their own off ffi,ers-when if
Judge Williams had been Just Judge,
he could have said TO these companies,
i will order a new or special election
for the purpose of filling the vacancy
the practice would have been nipped
in the bud years ago.
The Adoertiser further charges that
Judge Williams has shown gross favor
itism in granting licenses, and says
"Under this head We shall show how
in one locality he has granted saloon
aud wholesale liquor licenses, against
the most earnest protests of republicans,
democrats, Christians, Hebrews and
gentiles, and in other localities refused
licenses when the most reputable citi.
zens of all political parties and various
religious denominations have petition
ed and appealed to him in person TO
grant them. We shall show also that
by this unreliable and unjust and vacil-
lating course lie has lost the confidence
of the public, The temperance aud pro,
hibitionist and the hotel keepers as
well as the citizens az large"
This is a terrible aIraignment, and
the friends of Judge Williams will
have to meet II if they would commend
him to the supI ort of intelligent and
patriotic voters.

Three weeks from next Tuesday is
election day, but thus far in the cam
paign there has been nothing done by
either party towards arousing the en-
thusiasm of the voters. There is a
Supreme Judge and State Treasurer
to elect, but nevertheless it is an off
year, and it may be reasonably expect
ed that the vote will be light This is
Just the kind of year when the demo.
Gratis might carry the day, if they
would. 1t may be confidently reckoued
that enough republicans will stay at
home, to give the election to us, if we
do not stay at home also. Our oppo-
nents are resting on their oars, beliey-
ing that they can carry the state with.
out an effort. If anything like full
democratic vote is out we can win by
twenty thousand majority this year.
Try it and see.

From the Flreman's Herald.
Two hundred years ago in China
there was just such craze about natu-
raj gas as we have in this country TO-
day. Gas wells were sunk with as
much vim and vigor as the Celestials
were capable of, but owing to a gas
explosion that killed several millions
Of people and tore up and destroyed a
large district of country, leaving a
large inland sea, known on the maps
as Lake Foo Chang, the boring of any
more gas wells was then and there

FOOT Wear.

In buying Boots, Shoes, Slip
pers, or any other kind of foot
wear, people will go where they
can find the largest assortment
to select from, and where they
can get the best goods for the
least money. Such advantages
can be found at the best in an
establishment that deals exclu-
sively in foot wear. Almost ev-
cry general store keeps a few
boxes of boots and shoes, but at
Dentler's shoe store the stock
consists entirely of this line of
goods. Boots, Shoes, Slippers,
Pumps, Rubbers, Sandals, Gal
ters, &C., for Men, Women and
Children, occupy shelf after
shelf, and even the floor of the
large room is stocked with boxes.
Here the customer can find all
styles, all sizes, all prices, from
the heaviest COW hide, to the
finest kid, with prices as low as
can be found anywhere for the
same class of goods. We are
provided with implements for
removing pegs, and for resetting
buttons, SO that our goods are
made comfortable, and made to
fit any foot.
Among the special lines are
the w. L. Douglas Shoe for gen.
tlemen, Curtis & Wheeler's La
dies Fine Shoes, the celebrated
Towanda Boot, for men and boys.
No trouble to show goods.
